Information

Munich
length 97 cm.
Heavy, rifled, octagonal, 5 mm cal. barrel, with silver fret pattern like the signature "F. DISCHLER IN MÜNCHEN", precision foresight and rear sight. The cock placed in the tang, which is finely engraved with floral motifs and provided with a peep sight; the piston is located approx. 15 cm from the nozzle, the cock, once fired, activates a very long firing pin. A crosspin is inserted between piston and nozzle, but this does not hinder the mechanism to work properly. Beautiful wooden half stock with micro-checkered palm rest and grip; the left cheekpiece sculpted with leaves, wooden trigger guard decorated with a sculpted rosette at the tang. The side plates, at cock height, engraved with rocaille; missing butt-plate. Set trigger.
